OK, what I've learned about airbags. I installed the Firestone ride rites and love them. BUT... You can't hitch up and then air up your airbags, you have to set your camper on the ball, add air to level the camper.. Maybe a little nose down. Then set up your wd bars and hitch. I learned the hard way that if your hitch is properly set up and then you level it up using airbags it throws the dynamics of the hitch way off and you will be in for a white knuckle ride.
Also, airbag psi is relevant to how much tongue weight you have. So if one trip your tongue weight is a little lighter you may have to adjust you psi. If you're trying to get the bags equal, when you add a little to one bag, the other will read a little low. Just some food for thought.
